Samsung has just recently unveiled its Galaxy Note 5 yet rumors about its possible successor have already been emerging.

Here are some of the upgrades we can expect in the new Samsung Galaxy Note 6 device (well, according to rumors):

1. More Powerful Processor

According to Tech Times, it is possible that the next Note would be a gaming PC mold into a phablet. Hence, the device is said to feature a 16-core processor. To compare, the Note 5 has an octa core (2.1GHz Quad+1.5GHz Quad), 64 bit, 14 nm processor. The S6 Edge+ also uses the same.

2. Bigger RAM

It is believed that the next Note device would have an 8 GB of RAM, much better compared to Note 4's 3 GB of RAM and Note 5's 4 GB of RAM. It would be perfect for multi-tasking.

3. Bigger, Better Screen Display

While the Galaxy Note 5 boasts of its 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED (2560 x 1440; 518ppi) display, its successor is said to sport a 6.0 to 6.2-inch 4K screen display. It true, that's definitely a nicer viewing experience and better productivity.

4. Camera

A big bump in its camera is also expected. Rumors suggest that the next Note could possibly feature a 30 megapixel main camera and a 16-megapixel front-facing shooter. Expect to get finer photos and high-quality videos.

The Note 5 and S6 Edge+ both sport a 16 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera.

5. Longer battery life with faster charging feature

The new handset is said to get a 4200 mAh battery that comes with a wireless, faster charging feature. 

Other features:

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6, according to Tech Times, will also likely get features like fingerprint scanner, retina or iris scanner, barometer, thermometer, compass, oxygen sensor for blood pressure and heart rate sensor. Storage options may include 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. The phablet is also said to be dust and shock-proof.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 may also include USB Type-C support and microSD card support, Forbes' contributor Ian Morris predicts. Morris says it is unlikely that Samsung would bring back removable batteries.

Patently Mobile earlier revealed that a Samsung patent showed a Note phablet with a laptop dock. The device serves as the laptop's processor and memory. When attached, the dock will allow switching from the Android OS to the Windows 10 OS. Samsung has not yet commented about the matter.

All these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, no matter how enticing these Samsung Galaxy Note 6 specs and features are, as Samsung has not yet released an official statement or comment about the new device.
